| Cyber plants: Scientists create analogue, digital electronic circuits inside living flowers - Quote :
Scientists have created the world's first electronically augmented plant, building analogue and digital circuits inside living flowers using semi-conductive polymers.
The team of researchers at Linkoping University in Sweden added the polymers to water, which were dissolved and absorbed through a rose's natural vascular system where they formed electrical components that resembled wires.
The wires were able to spread evenly through the plant, forming conductive structures up to 10 centimetres long without restricting its ability to carry water and nutrients.
From there scientists were able to create simple transistors, switching the current through the wires on and off, and also used vacuum infiltration to send another polymer into the rose leaf, creating a basic display with pixels partitioned by veins.
The rudimentary display allowed the research group, under the leadership of Professor Magnus Berggren, to change the colour of the leaf to different shades of green.
